The 20 words

Parts of a computer and things you do on one, including screen, mouse, keyboard, cursor, scroll, save and print. There are 20 words and 109 letters to find. The longest word is "keyboard", at 8 letters. No word on the list uses G, J, Q, W, X and Z.

|---|---|---|
| 4 letters | 6 | menu type file save icon code |

A shorter puzzle of ten
Choose "10 short words" beside the heading for a smaller grid with these ten: screen, mouse, menu, type, file, save, print, icon, code and email. None has more than 6 letters. On a phone the full puzzle takes twelve of the 20, so the letters stay big enough to tap.
Hints for this puzzle
- Start with the longest words. Keyboard, speaker and monitor take up the most room, so they are the easiest to spot.
- 5 words start with S. When you find an S, check it for screen, save, speaker, search and scroll.
- 3 words start with C. When you find a C, check it for cursor, camera and code.
- Look for doubled letters. Two of the same letter side by side stand out in a grid: screen and scroll.
Play it or print it
On the screen, tap the first letter of a word and then its last letter, and the word is crossed off the list. Easy hides words across and down, Medium adds corner to corner, and Hard adds backwards. Press Print for two pages, the puzzle and its answer key, and "New puzzle" for the same words in new places. The word search maker page explains how each grid is made and kept clean.
It suits computer lab day or a screen free break at home. Underline the parts you can touch, like mouse and screen, and circle the actions, like scroll and save.
